Each month Tiger Cubs generally have at least two [[den meetings]], a [[pack meeting]], and a "Go See It" [[den meeting]] outing.

+

The program section of the Tiger Cub [[den meeting]] is usually divided into three parts, corresponding to the [[Tiger Cub Motto]]:

+

* '''Share'''. Each boy shares something that he's done since the last meeting.

+

* '''Search'''. Leaders and [[Den Chiefs]] will discuss the next Go See It outing. This activity could fulfill one of the achievement requirements or one of the elective requirements, or it could relate to the [[monthly theme]].

+

* '''Discover'''. During Discover time, the den leader may introduce the monthly theme and talk about what the den will be doing for the pack meeting. Then the boys will play games, have activities, take part in outdoor activities, or work on advancement requirements.

-

As a boy completes each part of the Tiger Cub achievements, he will be awarded either an orange (den activities), white (family activities), or black ("Go See It") bead. When the boy has earned five beads of each color, he is eligible to receive his Tiger Cub badge. The Tiger Cub badge is presented to the adult partner at the next pack meeting. In an impressive ceremony, the adult partner in turn presents the badge to the boy.

''"The [[Bobcat badge]] is earned prior to all other ranks. If a boy joins [[Cub Scout Leader Portal|Cub Scouting]] as a [[Wolf]], [[Bear]], or [[Webelos]], he must earn the Bobcat badge first before receiving any other award or rank. - [[Advancement Policies]], pp. 18-21

Tiger Cubs can also complete [[Tiger Cub Electives|Electives]] at any time.
